Ingredients:
340g packet golden butter cake mix
85.00 gm desiccated coconut
141.7g packet Rainbow Nerds
45g packet Neon Nerds
6rainbow-coloured sour straps
4orange jubes, thickly sliced
3green jubes, halved, thinly sliced
Green gel food colouring
62.50 gm chocolate-hazelnut spread, to serve
2strawberry sour straps
125g unsalted butter, softened
225.00 gm icing sugar mixture
2.20 gm vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Line 12 muffin pan holes with green and white paper cases, and grease 6 mini loaf pan holes. Make sure to line the bases and two long sides of each loaf pan hole with baking paper, extending it 2cm above the edge of the pan.
Follow the instructions on the cake mix packet to prepare the batter. Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared pans. Bake for 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then transfer onto a wire rack to cool.
Prepare the Buttercream icing: With an electric mixer, whip the butter in a bowl for 8 to 10 minutes until it turns pale. Slowly incorporate the sugar, mixing well. Add the vanilla and continue to beat.
Spread out the coconut on a small plate. Separate the nerds by color as per the Notes.
Trim the top of each loaf cake to create a slight dome shape using a serrated knife. Spread icing on the top and sides of each cake and coat the sides with coconut. Arrange nerds on top of each cake, using a different color for each cake. Cut the green stripe from each rainbow sour strap with scissors, wrap 1 around each cake, gently pressing into the icing to secure. Place cakes on a platter.
Set aside 2 tablespoons of icing. Frost the tops of each cupcake with the remaining icing. Sprinkle coconut on top. Place an orange and green jube in the center of each cupcake, pressing down lightly to secure. Transfer the cupcakes to a serving platter.
Add green food colouring to the reserved icing to create a vibrant green hue. Transfer the green icing to a small snap-lock bag, cut off a corner, and pipe it into a bowl to imitate wasabi. Put the choc-hazelnut spread in a separate bowl to mimic soy sauce. Thinly slice the strawberry straps to look like pickled ginger and place them in another bowl. Finally, assemble the cakes to resemble sushi and serve.
